DUNKARD'S HONOR,
A War Incident Which Testifes to the Honesty OF
the Sect


the Sect.
General f. p. Alexander IN the Century.
Near Hagerstown l had an expert
ence with an old dunkard which gave
me a high and lasting respect for the
people of that faith. My scouts had
had horse transaction with this old
gentleman, and he came to see me
about it. He made no complaint, but
said it was his only horse, and as the
scouts had told HIM we had some hoof
sore horses we should have to leave
behind, he came to ask if I would trade
him one OF those for his horse, as with
out one his crop would be lost.
recognized the old man at once as
q born gentleman in his delicately
speaking of the transaction as trade.
So | assented to his taking foot
sore horse, and offered him beside
payment in Confederate money. This
he respectfully but firmly declined.
Considering how the recent battle had
gone, | waived argument but tried an
other suggestion. told him that we
were in Maryland as the guests of the
United States; that after our depart
ure the Government would pay all
bills that we left behind, and that |
would give him an order on the United
States for the value of his horse, and
have it approved by General Long
street. TO my surprise he declined
this also. ] supposed then that he
was simply ignorant OF the bonanza
in a claim against the Government,
and l explained that; and, telling him
that mouey was no object to us under
the circumstances, offered to include
the value of his whole farm. He
again said he wanted nothing but the
foot-sore horse. Still anxious that
the war should not grind this
poor old fellow III his power
ty, | suggested that he take two
or three foot.sore horses which we
would have to leave anyhow when we
marched. Then he said, "Well, sir,
am q dunkard, and the rule of our
church is an eye for an eye, and a
tooth for a tooth, and horse for a
horse, and ] can't break the rule."
1replied that the Lord, who made
all horses, knew that q good horse
was worth a dozen old battery scrubs;
and after some time prevailed on him
to take two by calling one of them
gift. But that night about midnight
we were awakened by approaching
hoofs, and turned out expecting to re,
ceive some order. 1t was my old
dunkard leading one of his foot-sores.
"WeIl, sir" he said, "you made it
look all right to me to-day when you
were talking; but after went to bed
tonight got to thinking it all over,
and don't think can explain it to
the church. and l would rather not
try" With that he tied old foot sore
to fence, ad rode off abruptly. Even
at this late day it is relief to my
conscience to tender to his sect this
recognition of their integrity and
honesty in lieu of the extra horse
which l vainly endeavored to throw
into tha trade
